Crime Pays Review

Crime Pays is a 5-reel 50-payline video slot themed around a retired policeman who wants to revenge himself upon a mysterious and uncatchable mastermind. If you manage to trace and find the criminal in an exciting bonus game, you will grab a progressive jackpot that seeds at $50,000 and is hit once in 3 to 4 weeks in average. There is a single adjustable option in the slot, that is a bet per line that reaches $2, so the max bet is $100 per spin. The maximum payout in the game is x2000 a line bet.

Bonus features

The slot has a wild symbol, free spins and two bonus games. Free spins are activated if you get a Free Spin bonus icon on the fifth reel plus the Crime and Pays symbols on the first and third reels accordingly. The exact number of free spins varies between 5 and 20, and, surprisingly, it depends on your line bet in the triggering round, not the number of scatters. Besides, all winnings are paid out at double their value until the end of the feature.

The second mini game called the Crime Spree bonus is unlocked on hitting the Police Siren on the fifth reel. The gaming field suddenly becomes dark, and policemen will shine a searchlight on the reels, lighting up random symbols that will then produce a decent cash award of up to x30 your bet.

Progressive jackpot
A progressive jackpot available in the game can be won in a bonus game triggered by the Mastermind symbol on reel 5. On the second screen, you are presented with a map marked with numerous pins. Your task is to select the location where you think the mastermind is hiding. The correct choice awards you with a progressive jackpot of $50,000 or greater. The jackpot size grows every time players make the wrong pick in the jackpot-triggering bonus round.
